# WebProxyTool vs HTML Viewer ++

WebProxyTool and HTML Viewer ++ both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 65% of WebProxyTool's written reviews are positive against 0% of HTML Viewer ++'s. WebProxyTool also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and chart position (#37 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WebProxyTool sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and HTML Viewer ++ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HTML Viewer ++ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WebProxyTool has 307 ratings behind it against 48, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of WebProxyTool's written reviews are positive against 0% of HTML Viewer ++'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WebProxyTool ships an update every 8 days, HTML Viewer ++ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
